I'm working with an organ score that needs to have many text boxes
for instructions, etc. When I print out the score (no part
extraction needed), I want the boxes to be exactly where they are
in the score layout, not offset somewhere else; this has happened
when I've used Text Blocks in the past. Is there a way to make
this setting?
I'm on Finale 2007 for PC
Text boxes made with the Text Tool (looks like an A) will attach to
measures in scroll view, and to the PAGE if you enter them in page
view. In my opinion, there is no good reason to use the Text Tool for
instructions, with one exception. The Text Tool should be renamed
Title Tool, because that is what it does best. The Expression Tool
(looks like an mf) has everything the Text Tool has, except centre
justification of text (this is the one reason to use the Text Tool)
and everything stays attached to measures or notes, depending on how
you enter it. This way you can extract parts and change layout to
your heart's content, and the instructions stay attached to the
measure or note they were originally attached to.
